Life sucks- then you die. That's what it was like for me. I died after a critical accident. But I never knew it would lead to the best adventure of my 'lifetime'. Jacob/oc. Sorry, summary sucks.

~Once In A Lifetime~

I could hear the beeping of the heart monitor. Loud and clear. The constant beeping becoming a melodic lullaby in my head. The sound of a beating heart echoing around me. A heart. My heart. The sound of dripping close by- a drip. Stuck in my arm. The painful touch of needles being stabbed into my arms. I would cry, but I had no tears. I would scream, but I had no voice. I would kill myself, but I had no knife.

The black abyss seemed to carry me on. Letting me float and roam free to wherever this may lead me to. But I could see faceless people flashing behind my closed lids. Smiling mouths with no emotion. Tears that fall from hidden eyes. And voices that speak without words.

I see myself, sitting in front of a mirror, watching myself grow older. Limp and stringy brown hair clings to pasty white skin. Sweat shining on the face. Large black circles hanging from the eyes with a yellow tint. Once cherry red lips, now cracked and dried. The heartbreak in those deep brown eyes… turning lifeless and dull. It was me- it still is me. Dying. Rotting away. A life not worth living…

More heartbeats break through the dark. Becoming louder, more painful to hear. It grows fast and quick.

I stand alone. It the dark. Wandering around with no destination set in mind. It's hard to move around. Like I'm walking through tar. It sticks to me, pulling me back. But I want to keep on moving. I take another step, more tar sticking to my legs and trying to pull me away. I continue to move forward…

The heart monitor noise begins to fade, the heartbeats stop, the black becomes thicker and I'm falling through it. Letting the black tar push me under, letting it cover me completely into more thick tar. My head is under. I'm trapped and fading.

"I'm sorry…" I hear the faint voice say from the distance "We've lost her"

I reach out, knowing no one can save me.

Yeah, I know it may not seem too good, but please give me credit! I really did try! So, please, please, please- if you'll find it in your heart to REVIEW me!
